Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mechanism of intramanchette transport is crucial to the transformation of sperm tail and the nuclear condensation during spermiogenesis. Although few dysfunctional proteins could result in abnormal junction between the head and tail of spermatozoon, little is known about the genetic cues in this process. OBJECTIVE: Based on patients with severe decapitated and decaudated spermatozoa (DDS)...
